No One Ready To Listen To Farmers Plights, Priyanka Gandhi Slams UP Govt Over Lakhimpur Kheri Incident

Mumbai: Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Sunday hit out at the Uttar Pradesh government over the Lakhimpur incident and said it shows that no one is ready to listen to the plight of farmers in the country.

Addressing the Congress ‘Pratigya Rally’ she said, “The way farmers were murdered in Lakhimpur Kheri and the fact no one heard their plights shows the reality of this government. It shows how no one is ready to listen to farmers’ plight in the country.”

While questioning why the hike in Minimum Support Price (MSP) for sugarcane before the elections, the Congress General Secretary asked, “It has been said that the MSP for sugarcane will be raised. Why are you announcing it now? What were you doing in the last 4.5 years? Didn’t you find the right time to increase the price of sugarcane in the last 4.5 years?”

Assembly elections are due in Uttar Pradesh early next year. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said, “She knew she could be assassinated, but she never held back because for her, in this country or in this world, nothing was more important than your faith.

And she had faith in the nation.” Recalling Indira Gandhi’s lesson, he said, “If I stand before you, it is because of her lessons. I can never break your trust.”

Along with Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel also addressed the Congress ‘Pratigya Rally’ in Gorakhpur.
